Dan not wanting one while preordering the One S is weird. This has real enhancements. Makes no sense to me.
Had to go to this terrible Business law class. >.<

I think the ps4 pro is but the older ps4s will only get hdr. I dont think you can turn your old blu ray player into a 4k one.

Hey, just tuned in. Where's Jeff?
He probably got the X1 S , realized he doesn't even play it, and doesn't want to do another spontaneous decision again.
Yeah, just wait until the first big games roll out with real support. This thing is actually a lot more powerful and soon people will understand that you don't need a 4K TV do reap the benefits.

He said he got the s because it was smaller and would wait until he had a 4k tv for the pro.

well, that's another source. ridiculous not to include that in a 4K focused console

Must be a price thing.

Oh wow
No 4k blu ray on the pro either. Thats kind of nuts. And the xbox one s does.....this generation is upside down and backwards.

IIRC "PS4 not a 4K blu-ray player confirmedhttps://twitter.com/StuffTV/status/773609999381790720"
publication is Stuff
There's no way they're correct.
First showing of Mass Effect in proper gameplay and it looked like yet another turd pumped out by EA. Time will tell, but everything EA has put out this generation has felt like it was released too early or just designed by the most boring committee of check boxes you could assemble.

Gaming side thread has other sources. Sony said apps only no 4k player.
Editor for Engadget said the same, we'll see.

I swear they're doing everything they can to make sure nobody is excited for Mass Effect.
That's nuts. What the fuck are they thinking? (Sony I mean)

Seemingly other sources confirm it. Really bizarre. PS4p is as if Sony wanted to add power without costs going over $399. It's less of a premium product than initially thought.
Really not sure what they were thinking with this demo. If that's their showcase then wow...
ah bummer

I literally cannot comprehend why they would not include a UHD Bluray player. I'm befuddled. Flabbergasted.

That box looks so pointless for PS4 users unless you have a 4K TV which is surely not many people.
But if I didn't have a PS4 I would probably buy it over the slim or Xbox slim.

I think the rough part for you will be when your wish for other people to be disappointed goes unfulfilled.
I haven't seen that kind of regret here in the past when people have bought revisions of consoles or handhelds just because they were slimmer. This one is actually more powerful and not much more expensive than the new standard version when going from 500 GB to $1TB costs $50.

I can't believe how boring that new Mass Effect looked.

I wouldnt buy a 4k tv just for games. Its mad, they are on the blu ray board. They want to sell 4k tvs.

Knowing nothing at all about the tech I'd assume it's to keep the build/sale price down. Also whilst knowing nothing about the tech I'd assume that streamed 4k content looks pretty bad.

The UHD bluray player only is included with the Playstation 4 Pro Pro.

No Destiny. Even in a montage seems real odd.
That co marketing deal ending soon?

The PS4 Pro is definitely not for me at this point - no way I can afford a decent TV to make the best use of it.
The power increase, as of right now, doesn't really seduce me either. Maybe that will change once developers start making Pro stuff much better than the regular.
But if it was my first PS4, i'd be all over the Pro, they're likely gonna see a lot of first adopters going straight to that one.

Today I learned your boss in Deus Ex MD is Bennett from Commando
Oh my god, I just realised this.
He still thinks the regular one will get a firmware update to run them. And now even the new one doesn't!

Imagine if MS took the loss and put Scorpio out at $399. 4k tvs with HDR will be wildly available for sub $1,000 by then. And since the XB1 S has a 4k player one would assume Scorpio would.
Pretty much. I wonder how far the game is if they don't even show some shooting mechanics.

I think they made a big mistake by not outright saying "we let the developers decide what to do with the extra power", because that's what's happening. I'm absolutely sure that most games on PS4p will benefit even on a 1080p TV.
Dumbasses like me who'll buy it because it's new a shiny.
Presumably it runs new games with better graphics at a steady 30fps, something both current consoles are struggling with
And then they use all that MS cash to buy EA and Rockstar.
The Age of Sony will be over.
